Retail developments currently under construction will absorb some of this demand. Without a selection and choice of goods, residents will make their purchases out of the area; a fact that is supported by residents’ comments in a 2005 survey. Potential for retail sales will continue to expand with Victor Valley’s growing market population, the increasing number of households and rising household incomes.
